Each morning begins with a call home to the three special men in our lives.....Daddy, Nicholas & Mason. After a brief conversation, off to the bus for the boys and the feeding clinic for Reese. Driving to the clinic today seemed easier than yesterday. I already knew where to go and what to expect. Ms Mimi & Ms Rhonda/playroom staff welcome Reese and then to the playroom to begin her day. I stood there yet for the second day feeling lost and alone without my family......after just a few minutes I was told there would be a meeting today for the parents. Before the meeting Reese had a 15 minute feeding session with a dry spoon. This did not go well at all. She seemed tired and mad already. The meeting was in the next building, where we gathered around as everyone introduced themselves. Each person shared a little something about themselves and their child. As many of you heard me say. I didn't want to meet anyone new. I was going to St Josephs to get the professional help , so my daughter could someday be able to eat on her own. Today, I met a group of mom's who understand and face the same fears I do everyday. The question I often ask myself...When will Reese be able to eat??? While I stood there a familiar face appeared in the window........Aunt Moe! I couldn't believe it!
We went into the clinic where Reese was going to have her second feeding for the day. She cried and fought to keep the spoon from going into her mouth....from there she went to the gym for OT. She was very upset at this point, but handled it like a tough little girl. I am so proud of her!!! Leaving for a short while and returning @ 4pm for the final feeding. We watched as she continued to OPEN her mouth and accept the spoon. I had tears of joy and praying she would continue to accept the spoon. She did it again! This was progress after only two days!!! I only hope tomorrow will bring good things.
I wanted to end today by telling all of our friends and family. We love that you take the time to comment, e-mail and call to show you care. This is what helps us get through each day.....
XOXO

Thinking of all everyday.

Sounds like Reese is not a morning person, she might just need some caffine to get her jump started...
Glad things are getting better and that Moe is there for some company.
